Clothing brands that you rarely see anymore

Hush Puppies.

 

Gola

 

Not sure if they're still going but I remember in the 70s/80s there used to be a sports brand called Patrick. I'm sure they used to make Southamptons kit.

There's a total bellend in my office wears their polo shirts. Walks about like he's Clint fucking Eastwood as well.

 

I don't think I've seen anyone else wear one in 15 years though.

I can just picture you seething with murderous rage in the presence of a substandard polo.

I spent about 15 minutes explaining to the bird who sits next to me how Le Shark were a blag Lecoste & why it is completely unnacceptable to wear for a grown man, it was lime green as well.

 

She was nonplussed.

Ben Sherman 

Fila

Fred Perry

La coq sportif

 

There was a brand with a crocodile for a logo, they were quite popular for a while. This might have been lecoste, just seen it mentioned.

[Trumo]

Anyone remember Ciro Citterio? Bought a few shirts from there back in the day.

Lecoste sounds like a jarg Lacoste to me.

Gio Goi, was very popular for a few months and has since disappeared.

 

 

Started out by making tshirts for happy Monday’s gigs i think.

Spliffy and Dready jeans/hoodies.

 

When you absolutely, positively need to define your entire personality by the fact you take recreational drugs.

I wore those in the early nineties. At the time I was defining my entire personality by the fact that I took recreational drugs.

 

The drugs stayed around longer than the clothing. Much longer.

Stussy.

 

Pretty sure I was saving up for a Stussy bucket hat in the '90s. I wanted one of those Head bags too.

Still wear stussy now, love their gear, still do some decent loud shirts- none as good as the old mambo ones though, I’ve a couple of vintage Mambo loud shirts.

Lotto was big enough in Ireland in the early 90s, especially trainers and footy boots.

 

Joe Bloggs jeans, Kickers shoes, Pepe jeans, Diesel.

I just landed in Sydney, as me jeans were fucking soaked in sweat I headed to Stussy to grab a pair of combats - light and zip off into shorts, but a bit fucking swishy.

anyway, while there I spotted these for yer (reckon the bottom one is a BBN):

my parents ran a small subcontractor textile factory and we actually made these jackets. also did frosty / frostie jackets (ski style jackets), for our sins before that we also made cheap shell suits too.

 

i can only apologise for the sins of my father.

I got quite a lot of stuff from there, including a truly magnificent nubuck coat.

Good shout. They had a factory a few miles up the road from us, and you could buy factory seconds for less than a fiver a pop. In most cases it was hard to tell what the fault was.

LA Gear. Don't know about clothing but they used to make those trainers with little lights in the soles.

If you live near a Primark, you can expect to see Lotto again soon. The one near mine has a window full of the stuff just now.

They still make nice polos much better quality than ralph Laurens, Hugo boss and all them. I'm at the age now where I just wear whatever someone's bought me I don't give a shit anymore.

 

Except for footwear.
